Indeed it is figuarts scaled! It's an Action Works Metalder. Megahouse used to produce various Metal Heroes in that line before their company was acquired by Bandai and the line ceased to be. Even for an older figure this guy looks great in any SHF collection.
As I've said in the past I feel the Action Works Gavan, Shaider, & Sharivan are far superior to their easily broken SHF counterparts. Megahouse produced Gavan, Sharivan, Shaider, Metalder, and a ridiculously awesome Winspector 3-pack that I still have yet to obtain. Actually mine really isn't all that loose. I spent years trying to find one for a reasonable price, they turn up on Mandarake on occasion in excess of $150 though. Finally scored this one second hand on Amazon Japan and it's still nice and tight. Appears hardly used. The only issue I have is the elbow joints like to pop apart while changing out hands. |

Anywhoo my contribution to this thread, my first Godzilla Monsterarts arrived today and I wanted to test out using a monitor as a background, I think it turned out pretty cool looking! This figure is amazing but the articulation is um, well it's what I expect from a Godzilla suit so I'm not all that disappointed haha it's just I'm used to figuarts levels of articulation in figures. Still, Kiryu looks fierce as all hell.

Don't get me wrong I like this figure, I like it a lot. But with only hands as accessories it isn't the most exciting of things.

Does yours have really shitily made clear parts for the head? Because Sentai Tamashii's and mine both have really poorly finished seams on the front and back of the head. Mine has some smudges of glue from the factory on the part that extends above the head.

There's a little bit under the eye, but you really have to stare hard to notice it. I think I got lucky with my figure as the only issue I had was removing the red fist for the first time. It did not want to come off and I thought the wrist joint was going to snap straight off.
